Bedford's out of the starting 22.

Dunstan can still yet replace Bedford as the designated sub.

 

Unless Bedford is injured (or he replaces an injured player in the 22), I reckon there is zero chance he won't be the medi sub.

It's not how goody operates.

    Dunstan made the trip.  Sighted boarding bus. Possible medi-sub.

    So did Melksham.

    They take at least 2 emergencies on interstate trips. Might have even taken all 4 given Covid could throw us into disarray at the last minute.

    Handy out I guess.

    We need to focus on beating whomever they send out against us - celebrating outs is often counterproductive

    I thought Hunt was very solid. Nullified Weightman and mopped up well, especially in the first half. Did his job.

    The GC team is full of young blokes who are mobile. Skills fail them often, they run so much. Hunt is needed to catch them up forward to then rebound the ball for our opportunities. Bowey should handle Salem's role quite well and should be a great 'assist' in the close backline clearances. Hunt, Bowey and Smith - equally mobile and really good interceptors/defenders against this mob, I'd reckon. Dees by 50 points.

    This is a bit harsh on Hunt.

    He got involved, spoiling, picking up possessions, tackling, two way running. He did enough to retain his spot. 

    Fully agree Hunt went ok last week.

    I suspect M Brown doesn't make the emergencies because of the Weid...who is primarily there as an emergency should one of Gawn or Jackson not be available on game day. But if a tall forward has to be replaced, I assume Weid has that covered, too.

    I'm more interested in who comes in should we need to replace a defender before the game. After all, there has been some suggestion that Smith may have a hand injury. Would Bedford come in but someone else (Brayshaw? Harmes?) play in the backline with Bedford taking on their role? 

    Brayshaw will play back for sure and Bedford in.

    Looking like it's going to be a wet evening in Carrara. Wouldn't be surprised if pull a late change and being Bedford back in for a tall.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
